Kirkton Veterinary Centre Ltd

Kirkton Veterinary Centre Ltd describes itself as an independent, traditional mixed practice, treating pets and farm animals, and running its own 24-hour out-of-hours emergency service. Recent reviews back up the “mixed” caseload, with owners mentioning everything from routine dog-and-cat care to emergency staples for a hen and on-site help for mastitis in a farm animal. Multiple reviewers also describe the team keeping in touch during serious illness (including over the Christmas holidays), and one review notes the practice price-matches prescriptions to avoid clients having to source medicines elsewhere.
